Quadratic nonlinear radiation within a 1D photonic crystal
TL;DR: In this article, the quadratic nonlinear radiation of a plane sheet of oscillating dipoles within a 1D truncated periodic structure is considered and it is shown that in such a microcavity-like structure, not only the amplitude field distribution, but also the phase difference between the dipole oscillation and the field plays a determining role in the process of energy transfer that defines the radiative properties of the dipoles.

Electromagnetic-field imbalance in surface plasmon polariton and its role in slow propagation and field-matter interaction
Hideo Iwase,Toshihiko Baba +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a theoretic study of the electromagnetic field imbalance in surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which reveal that the magnetic field components induced by the electric fields normal and parallel to a metal surface cancel each other in SPPs, resulting in an imbalance.

Detection of displacements in the nanometre range by optical tunnelling
TL;DR: In this article, a displacement sensor based on the phenomenon of evanescent wave coupling or the optical tunnelling effect is proposed to detect the cantilever deflection in atomic force microscopy (AFM) caused by the interatomic forces established between a sample surface and the force sensor.

Dissipation of the energy of excited atoms located near an absorptive medium surface
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the nonradiative process of transfer of the excited atom energy to an absorptive medium and calculated the probability of the nonradiative EL-transition for an excited atom placed near a macroscopic medium surface with the complex dielectric function ϵ (ω 0 ).
